What happened to my cucumber?

At the begining of the summer I planted the small salad cucumbers. Well, when I went out today to get the first few that have grown I found this:







Its all skinny at one end and HUGE and bulbous at the other!!!

Just thought I'd share

Whoa, weird! It's like it exploded on one end!

I wonder if its all fleshy or seedy? lol Guess I need to make a salad tonight to find out!

That's strange...

It could be due to incompete pollenation of the flower.

is it yummy?

my dad used to end up with the same thing. Still very edible

That's not what I was expecting to see! Please let us know how the cuc tastes!

hahahahahaha

Still looks good for grilling though - atleast it won't fall through the grill!

lol thats funny...my sister grew some and they were real fat on one end, long, and the other end was tapered off real small...but they still tasted good! Cucumbers are my FAVORITE!!!!!!!!

Sorry I couldn't help but laugh!

It is so cute!

It looks like a water balloon

Come on over and pick in a couple of weeks for some insane reason I planted 4 plants and I don't really like them. DH worked at a pickle processing plant in high school the stories he could tell-he will NEVER EAT THEM!!

Did the cucumber taste good?

I got my first tomato today!!

I cant show you a picture though - - I already gobbled it...

Watermelon envy?

I was actually a little nervous about opening this thread. My mind plays terrible tricks on me when I see certain sentences or words.

I sighed in relief after I opened it and saw the picture - then ....... I couldn't stop laughing!

Yup ! I know I got some snide remarks from the husband figure when he saw this thread! I remember I used to plant scads of pickling cucumbers, but for some reason never had any luck with them. The salad cukes however, made up for my lack of success with those.

I've been getting 'maters for about a week now. I only planted 4 plants, beefsteak, and I think that was just the right number. I go out and pick one to go on my lunchtime sandwich every day and the remainder goes on an afternoon snack sandwich by itself. Ummmmm! I love, love, love, 'mater sammiches!

its so cute, it looks like one of those gourds that people paint.

I'm not sure what is funnier - the thread title or the picture of your cucumber.
